Frequently Asked Questions

Are you honestly having a good experience at UNIBE?

o   Yes, I can honestly say I’m having a good time here at UNIBE. In the beginning it was a little difficult to get used to everything but everyday it got easier and easier to adapt. The campus is small and you will figure out where you have to go to get certain things done for example, making copies at "el Sotano" or at MaryCris. (post pending)

·      Do you like living in the Dominican Republic?

o   I like living in the Dominican Republic but it isn’t like the United States of course. Here you have a different culture, different currency, different everything! I do find that the capital is becoming “Americanized”. I see a lot of stores and restaurants opening up that I went to while living in the States which made me feel a little more at home. J

·      Does it get really lonely or dangerous?

o   If you live alone, it does get kind of lonely but once you find friends at school it’ll be easy to think of others things plus homework! You can also visit family or just travel the country when you have the time.

o   It is dangerous, but I think that if you don’t go out looking for trouble and you take care of yourself and are cautious you won’t have any problems. Every country has dangerous places, you just have to avoid them. The good thing about UNIBE is that it is located right in front of the Policia Nacional "Police" so we are more safe.

·      Is there school during the summer?

o   Yes. UNIBE is all year round. You will get a two-week break every four months.

·      How was the Spanish admission’s exam?
